Haaretz reports that as of 4:07 PM Nov. 2 (Israeli time), with 85.9% of the vote in yesterday's election counted, three Jewish religious parties appear to have won seats in the Knesset: Religious Zionism- 14 seats; Shas- 11 seats; United Torah Judaism- 8 seats. Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party appears to have won 32 seats, so that in coalition with the religious parties, they will have a majority of the 120 seats in the Knesset. There could be some change in these numbers as Meretz has won 3.19% of the vote so far. If this increases to 3.25% in the final tabulation, it will take a seat.
